[QUOTE="tony.towa, post: 22121, member: 1578"] Hello there, Having read this thread I would agree with the previous posts. The majority of major commercial sites are fitted with sustainable emergency lighting, this is when a percentage of the fittings double as both normal and emergency fittings and all can be switched off with the normal "light switches". The emergency fittings have a second feed, through the key switch, which is a permanent live feed. This means that even when the light fitting is switched off the back up circuitry still has a "live" supply to it, except under fault (power failure) or test (key switch operation) conditions. My suggestion is to call in a local electrician to check the way your lighting is wired as if you have to swict the lights off with a key switch then something is wrong somewhere. [/QUOTE]
